My suggestion would be to load up one of their existing bikes (or something close) into https://bikeinsights.com/ along with the Sam so that they can get a visual indication of the sizing. I think that it will also make a difference how they want it to fit. It would probably be better as a more sporty (bars at or slightly below saddle) drop bar bike than an upright flat/sweep bar bike. For a flat/sweep bar bike, I would think that they would be better off with the largest Clem or Atlantis.
